Where the Old Maids Come |

"Do you know, sir,.i inquired an
American tourist of his companion,
while doing England, "the reason for
the fresh, healthy appearance of the
English people ? Their complexion is
far superior to ours, or our country
men over the pond"
"Well. 1 know what Prof 'Uxley
says"
"And what reason does he ad-
vance?"
"Well, 'Uxley says it is all how
ing to the hold maidsl
You surprise me-"
"Fact. 'UAley figures it out in
this way; Now you know the Hin
glish are very fond of roast heei?"
"But what has that got to do with
old maids?"
"Go slow. This genuine H'inglish
beef is the best and most nutritious
beef in the world, and it h'imparts o
beautiful complexion"
"Well, about the old maids?
eyes; you see the h'excellence of
this H'inglish beef is due h'exclusive-
ly to red clover. Do you see the
point?"
cali but the old maids. They are
not in sight as far as I can see," re-
piled the American with a sigh.
"Why, don't you see? This red
clover is h'enriched, sweetened and
fructified by bumhle heesn
"But where do the old maids came
in?" said the inquisitive American,
wiping his brow wearily.
"Why it is as plain as the nose on
your face. The h'only enemy of the
humble bee is the field mouse, which
h'ondermines and robs their nest"
But what have roast beef, red olo-
yer, humble bees and field mice got
do with old maids?"
"Why. you must be very h'obtuse,
Don't you perceive that the bundle
bees would soon be h'exterminated
by the field mice if were not for"
cold maids |"
mo, if it were not for cats; ans
hold maids of hold H'ingland keep
the country thoroughly stocked up
with cats. and so we can directly
trace the h'effect of the rosy H'inglish
complexion to the benign cause of
H'inglish hold maids; at least that's
what 'Uxley says, and that's just
where the hold maids come hin.

Remedy for Diphtheria.
The following, which is pronounc-
ed "never-failing recipe for the cure
of diphtheria," is copied from a Dub
lin paper. The remedy has been
many times reprinted as follows;
Put tablespoonful of sulphur in
to wine glass of water and stir it
with the finger instead of a spoon, as
the sulphur does not readily amalga-
mate with water. When the sulphur
is well mixed. then it is to be given
to the patient to gargle, and after
gargling, to swallow it, and the pa
tient will be ont of danger in ten
minutes. When the fungus is too
nearly closing to allow the gargling,
the sulphur in that case should be
blown through quill into the throat,
and after the fungus has shrunk to al
low of it, then the gargling. If a pa
tient cannot gargle, take live coal,
put it on shovel, and sprinkle a
spoonful of -four of birthstone upon it.
Let the sufferer inhale it by holding
his head over 1t, and the fungus will
die. Birthstone kills every species of
fungus in man, beast and plant in a
few minutes

San Francisco Examiner: Some time
ago a Chinaman named Lin Hop died
and left his widow $600,on condition that
she go back to China and remain there.

go to the cousins OF the deceased. The
wife did not appear to like China any too
well, 30 she married Hope Moy. The
cousins then appeared before JudRe Cof-
fey and bad the fair one summoned to
show cause why she did not give up the
money when shy got married. Moy said
she did nst understand English and
through an interpreter stated shat hel
husband did not leave $500; that he died
three months after they were married,and
that the night he died she was alone
with him, and she did not see him sign
any paper.
The two cousinr, Foy Hop and Lang
Sang, testified that their cousin told
them OF his intentions in regard to his
wife, rnd also that they saw him make a
will the night he died.
